The annual Cyril Elliott open track and field meeting (named to
commemorate a much loved coach of the Middlesbrough Mandale AC) was held today
at the Clairville Stadium in Middlesbrough for what will be the last time at
that venue, as the 51 year-old stadium is due for demolition with a replacement
promised elsewhere in the town for next season; Clairville has served well as a
base not only for athlete development and club meetings but also for school athletics,
and we have shivered in the old concrete stand on many occasions as the boy won
a few medals over the years, finishing today with a fine brace (bronze &
silver).
